Have you ever asked yourself, “Why do I doubt God?”

Thomas is often called “Doubting Thomas,” but his story reveals something deeper. After Jesus’ death, Thomas struggled to believe what others were telling him. Not because he didn’t care, but because what he had experienced didn’t match what he expected.

In this message from our Easter Peeps series, we explore how doubt, grief, and faith intersect, and how Jesus meets us right in the middle of it.

Thomas’ story reminds us that doubt doesn’t disqualify you. It may actually be the place where faith begins.

Have you ever wondered, “Can God still use me?”

Joseph of Arimathea wasn’t one of the twelve disciples. He was a respected leader who believed in Jesus quietly for a long time. But when the moment came, Joseph took courage and stepped forward to honor Jesus when others stepped back.

In this message in our Easter Peeps series, we explore how God uses ordinary people who are willing to take courage when the moment arrives. Joseph’s story reminds us that even if we feel like we missed our moment, God often gives us another opportunity to step into the story He has written for our lives.

No matter where you’ve been or what you feel like you’ve missed, God isn’t finished with your story.

Is your past too broken for God?

Mary Magdalene’s story begins with deep spiritual bondage and ends at the empty tomb on resurrection morning. Luke 8 tells us she had been delivered from seven demons. Yet the same woman became one of the most devoted followers of Jesus and the first witness of His resurrection.

Her story reminds us that God specializes in working through the people others might overlook.

Sometimes the miracle is already in motion before we can see it.

Pastor Tyler Padgitt takes us into one of the most debated passages in Scripture: Ephesians 5:22–33.

What does it actually mean for a husband to lead like Christ? This message challenges men to reject passivity and harshness and embrace sacrificial, protective leadership. Biblical masculinity is not about control. It is about covering. Not dominance, but responsibility.

When a husband reflects Christ, a marriage does not survive. It flourishes.

Scripture references:

Ephesians 5:22–33

1 Peter 3:7

Colossians 3:19

1 Timothy 5:8

Marriage rarely unfolds the you we imagine.

In this message from Pastor Tyler Padgitt, we explore why marriage can feel harder than expected and how Scripture reframes that tension as an invitation toward deeper love and growth. Looking at Ephesians 5:22–33, we see marriage not as a contract to manage but as a covenant that reflects Christ’s love for His people.

We talk about disappointment, expectations, leaving the past, rebuilding friendship, and learning to love in real time. Whether you’re married, preparing for marriage, or simply trying to understand relationships more deeply, this conversation offers clarity and hope.

In this message, Pastor Tyler Padgitt explores why faith was never meant to be passive or lifeless and how Scripture calls believers to live with zeal, confidence, and joy. Using the story of Caleb in Numbers 13, we see how bold faith trusts God’s promises, speaks when fear dominates, and stays strong over time.

This is not about personality or style. It is about wholehearted devotion and a faith that stays alive.

Scriptures: Luke 14, Romans 12, Numbers 13–14, and Psalm 92.
